Try using an underhand grip to increase your volume, most people can do more chin ups then pull ups. Also, very small sets are effective for increasing your volume. So if you can do a set of 5 of chin ups you might be able to do 5 sets of 2, doubling your total volume.

Well I founf if I bring my grip (arms closer) a little closer I increase volume. Is this not a good thing? should I just underhand it. Ill try that. I can do 3 at a time. I think I did like 8 sets of 3 regular. Then grip closer 3,3,5,3,3,4,4,3,2. lol I keep adding more. I figure eventually I will be able to do more with proper grip soon enough.

Yes, that's it. Vary it up, variety... wide, narrow, shoulder width, attack that back from every angle. Forward grip and when you can't do another, turn your hands around and muscle yourself up.
Imagine yourself hanging off a cliff or a building and you have to pull yourself up, visualize your back getting wider and with hard work... you will get what you give.

Great feedback. It was raining today. My Bar is outside. I decided today since its back day. To do dumbell rows for the first time. I love them. I will be doing Them every Wensday along with my pull ups. I want wings. Build Them lats up and the back. Whoop Whoop

Just ordered some ab straps also because i do crunches, but the seem to be rough on the lower back. I belive doing leg lifts and side 2 side leg lifts with these straps on the pull up bar would be better on the lower back and more effective.
